Steem2Fiat - A Google Chrome extension to visualize payouts in USD
Steem2Fiat
Steem2Fiat is a Google Chrome extension that makes it easy to visualize current payouts in USD. It leverages the CoinMarketCap API to make sure you are getting the most up-to-date and accurate price information. Then it annotates posts, comments, and your feed to display the payouts of everything published - so you can see them at a glance.
This is incredibly valuable when it comes to showing off Steemit to potential new members. The dollar signs used currently are confusing and misleading, the real world values of these posts are MUCH higher and hopefully always will be. By better communicating the value of Steemit to new members, this contribution will hopefully help drive more people to the Steemit platform.
Features to come:
- Customize Fiat Currency (USD, GBP, EUR, etc.)
- Select multiple price sources (Bittrex, Poloniex, etc.)
- Expand support to other Steem sites (ChainBB, Utopian.io, etc.)
The project isn't in the Chrome Apps Store yet, but will be later after more features are added :)
The idea for Steem2Fiat came from a conversation sparked by this post. I thought about it and realized that changing Steemit wasn't enough - we would want a solution that would work across all sites running on the Steem blockchain. We would also want to sync the user's preferences (Price source, Local Currency) across all of these sites. I'd done a few Chrome extensions before, so this solution felt natural to me, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. Check out the images below!

This is so cool I've been wanting this for quite some time.
I attempted to install this from the Chrome extensions store, but the package failed to load saying it was missing an icon file. I'd love to try it, so I look forward to a fix!
Hmm. I just got the same error. Let me get back to you in a few minutes.
Edit: Just published a new version which should fix the issue. Whenever 1.0.2 becomes available (should be before EoD) in the web store it should be good. Sorry about that!
Great, thank you! I'll check it out as soon as it's live!
Awesome!!
Everything's cool, but your calcualtions are way off. 0.57$ on a post is nowhere near 5.3 USD. Let's count:
You need to look into your code, mate. That being said, I can't wait on the addon.
So here's how I'm calculating it, maybe you can point out where I'm messing up?
great self promotion man!
